Wiki bug

Postby *Wiro » Wed Oct 01, 2008 8:16 pm

On the dutch wiki there's a spelling error with the word "Materialen".
It's spelled "Matrialen" on the wiki with those materials/skills/resources etc menus.

How should I change this? I think there's some template-page somewhere, right? Or is a wiki-admin supposed to fix it?

But then again, it would make ALL articles that have this need to be changed. :/
Is there an easy way to fix that?

What do you mean? I have really limited Wiki knowledge. Just enough to be able to edit pages. But something bigger (for me it is :P) like this won't work for me.

You're right, it does take an admin to move things like that.
I just did and fixed the links it effected.

I haven't messed around with Wiki for quite some time, but this link:




http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents/Editing_Wikipedia

Gives a basic understanding on the editing features.

Uhm wait. You misunderstood.
There wasn't anything wrong with those pages. "Materialen" is the correct spelling.

I was talking about the little template thingies like these:

{| class="infobox bordered" cellpadding="4" align="right"
|-
|
{{Infobox:Manufacture|
type=Tools|
skill=Manufacturing tools|
time=3|
resources=900 grams of [[stone]]|
objects=|
tools={{hammer}}<br>{{chisel}}|
machines=|
location=|
rot=6|
userot=30|
repair=375
}}
|-
|
{{Infobox:Holdable|
attack=05|
skillweight=20|
defense=|
weight=900|
visible=yes
}}
|}

Used in various cooking projects.

See also:
*{{small pot}}
*{{pot}}
*{{big pot}}


THAT's where matrialen is supposed to be changed to materialen.
In the dutch template that is.


Sorry if I didn't explain it good enough! :(

Are you talking about this box?
What exactly do you want to change? I don't see the exact wrong spelling you mention.

Now I see.
You mean this one: http://www.cantr.net/mwiki/index.php/Template:Infobox:Vervaardiging

You now need to go through the pages that use that template and change it to the correct spelling, or it will look weird.
Use this to see those pages: http://www.cantr.net/mwiki/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Infobox:Vervaardiging&limit=50&from=7984&dir=prev
(there's one more page after the first)

Great. For future reference; if you click edit for a page, you see a list of the templates used. It would have simplified matters in this case.
